     The sabbath day is the seventh day of the week, or what we know as Saturday; actually, Friday eve until Saturday eve. The Hebrew word  shab-bawth'  means intermission; it is a rest.

   "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, not thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it." (Ex. 20:8-11 [KJV])

     Paul evangelized in Antioch among the Jews and Gentiles on the sabbath. "And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath" (Acts 13:42 [KJV]). He also taught in Corinth on the sabbath: "And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks" (Acts 18:4 [KJV]).
